Saints,

This is a powerful book that is written on true accounts of Christian Martyrs in the early Christian days with some fiction additions and allusions surely will move you to tears and more desire for a full heart devotion to Christ. Oh how these readings of this book help us to see the fluff and flimsy faith we have in our modern day american version of the gospel and Christianity. May these recordings strengthen the faith of the true, convict the hearts of the idle, and convert the hearts of the untrue. View all the recordings here in a list.

Amen for these brother. I also think that every Christian should read Foxes Book of Martyrs. I re-read it every few years just to remind me how genuine Christianity began.

There was a group of foriegners taken Hostage by extreme Muslims. Each of them were be-headed and it was video-taped and it ended up on the internet. Now clearly these mad-men were showing the people of the east how weak the people of the west were. There was one man whose video tape did not end up on the internet. Apparently he was an Italian. He told his captors"I will show you how an Italian dies." He refused to beg for his life and offered his neck, they killed him.

Between 100 and 300 AD, many Christians ended up in the arena. Whole families. Tradition tells us that they took their place in the center of the arena, kneeled down, held hands and prayed as the lions approached to do their deadly work. The crowds often booed because they had come to see panic and mayhem, people running and fighting for their lives, they did not see this with the Christians. They did see Spirit filled people filled with a courage that was supernatural. And all many of them had to do was deny their faith and acknowledge Caesar as a God. They would not, and for this they would die.

Now I understand that very few of us will be called to martyrdom, but consider this Scripture...

Rev 12:11 And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony. And they did not love their lives until death.

We often leave the last part out. It is by this attitude that they overcame. The Bloood of the Lamb, yes. The Word of their testimony, yes. And they were willing to die for what they believed in. God, raise up a people who are willing to die for their God..............Frank

Amen. This is such a moving resource. I really recommend everyone play it for your families and spend the time devotionally to go through it. What a blessing and eye opening view of the early Christians.
